SPIRIT OF THE FOREST

You'll glimpse me in the wind-tossed leaves,

I'm the deeper green within.

You'll hear my voice in the rustling ferns

whispering your name.

You'll feel my touch in the gentle breeze

soothing your troubled brow.

My woody scent will draw your thoughts

beyond the mundane world,

where awareness expands and you feel the pain

of every trampled flower.

And when you're tired and fall asleep

beneath the spreading Oak,

you'll dream my dreams then remembrance will come

that you and I have always been one.......
